Pushing Through Perfectionism: How I Systematize Less Stress and More Peace | Free Self-Debrief Tool
Are you an overthinker? Do you find yourself ruminating over presentations, meetings, or significant events long after they’re over? You’re not alone! Many of us struggle with perfectionism (“I just need to fix this one last thing…”) and the constant cycle of rumination (“Why did I say that?”), which can hinder our performance and peace of mind.
That’s why I’m excited to share a new resource to help you break this cycle and bring more clarity and calm into your life: a free, downloadable Self-Debrief Tool with essential debrief questions.
Watch a real-time debrief
In my latest video, I share a bit of self-debriefing in real time and how to systematize this process and transform your workflow. Research shows that structured debriefing can significantly reduce rumination and boost cognitive function, helping you process your thoughts and emotions more effectively and quickly.
Why Self-Debriefing?
After every presentation, I take a moment to self-debrief and reflect. This practice helps me:
Identify Strengths and Areas for Improvement: By reflecting on what went well and what could be better, I can continuously grow and improve.
Reduce Self-Doubt: Structured debriefing helps me move past the need for perfection by focusing on progress and learning.
Enhance Mental Clarity: By offloading my brain, I can better organize my thoughts and emotions, leading to improved cognitive function and emotional well-being.
